An Eagles Goslings

On Achill Island, on the west
coast of Ireland, tame eagle adopt
ed two goose eggs, sat on them, and
hatched one Of them, rearing the lit
tie gosling with all the affection OF
real mother.
This happened some time ago. The
gosling grew up, lourished, mated
itself, and finally made the eagle the
happy grandmother Of three other lit
tie goslings. Now, the eagle resumes
all her old cares. She Ia even more
fussy and anxious over this brood
than she was over their mother. She
begs them to share her food they
shelter under her wings alternately
with their own mother and, indeed,
they spend more time in the eagles
cage than roaming about with their
own parent.
The goose and goslings have free
access TO the eagle; and, when they
are with her, she is always very much
excited if strangers approach, in her
desire to protect them.
The eagles master, Mr.. Pike in
whose lovely grounds she has lived
for fifteen years., is the only person
she allows in her cage. He may ca
ress her, rub her legs while she flut-
ters with pleasure and she seems
quite happy, except when troubled
with fears about her foster-grand-
children.
This odd little freak in natural his
tory may be seen by any one visiting
Achill Island, as Mr.. Pike Is most
kind in exhibiting his happy family
to any one interested in such matters.
Many men, although not as exem-
plary as they should be in their own
lives, are yet at much pains 10 rear
their children correctly. The senti-
ment with them is, "Do as ! say, not
as do" Such a father-nOt far
from Cincinnati-is m the habit Of
getting on a "tare," rather often.
lie endeavors, however, 10 hide the
fact from his children but 'little
pitchers have long ears" and children
know more OF what is going ON than
grown people frequently suppose.
One evening this exemplary parent
was hearing his little Johnny rccite
his Sunday school lesson. IL WAS
from the fourteenth chapter Of Mat
thew, wherein Is related the parable
Of the malicious individual who went
about sowing tares, etc.
"What j. a tare ?" the parent in
terrupted to inquire.
Johnny hesitated.
'Tell me, my son, what a tare n ~
''YOu have had 'em," said Johnny,
casting down his eyes and wriggling
his foot.
s'Had 'em o. said the astonished
parent, opening his eyes rather wide.
"Wby, what do yon mean, Johnny =
.'When you didn't come home for
three days last week" said Johnny,
~ heard mother tell Aunt susan
that YOU was on ON a tare.
The SuBday-schOol lesson was alb
ruptly brought to a close. aud John
dy, who knew TOO much altogether 10
sit up any later, WAS sent OF o. bed.

The Fault of the Age.

The fault of the age is IA mad endeavor
To leap the heights that were made 10 climb;
By a burst of strength thought that is clever
We plan TO outwit and forestal Time.
We scorn 10 wait for the thing worth having;
We want high noon 81 the days dim dawn;
We iud no pleasure IN toiiing and saving
As our forefathers did in the good times gone.
We force-our roses before their season
To boom and blossom that we may wear;
And then we wonder aud ask the reason
Why perfect buds are few and rare
We crave the gain, but despise the getting,
We want wealth reward, but dover,
Add the strength that is wasted in useless fret
ting
Would fell forest or build a tower
To coEet the prize, yet 10 shrink from the win
ming;
To thirst for glory, yet fear the fight
Why, what can II lead at last but SHINING,
To mental lang uor and moral blight?
Better the old slow way OF striving
And counting small gains when the year is
done,
That 10 use our forces in all contriying
And TO grasp for pleasures we have not won

A Bit Of History.

Recently / saw in a Southern pa
per a highly-colored and sensational
account of the narrow escape and
flight of General John &. Brecken-
ridge and Hon. Judah z. Benjamin
in their hasty trip through Florida in
April, 1865, writes a correspondent
of Philadelphia paper. Their fear
capture, apprehensiye of recognition,
dangers encountered, deprivations
and perils experienced. were all glow
ingly portrayed. In the summer of
1875 | met General Breckenridge in
Richmond, and one Sunday after
noon we were sitting alone in front
of the Ballard Hotel. / said that, if
not unpleasant, it would be gratify-
ing TO have him give an account of
his escape at the downfall of the
Confederacy and how it occurred that
SIR. BENJAMIN was separated from
him. He replied that he would
eheerfully do so. and said that after
following Dir. Davis some distance
on the retreat he became satisfied
that Mr. Davis had selected the most
dangerous route, and to continue IN
der his guidance, which he persisted
in, capture would be certain. Il de-
cided TO pursue different course and
taking with me some trusty men and
as few as possible, left Mr. Davis
and his escort and struck of 10 the
Florida coast. Soon afterward, as /
predicted, Dir. Davis was captured.
/ met with some soldiers of the Fed
eral army. They did not recognize
me, and nothing specially occurred

DON'T KILL THE BIRDS.


Think of your woods and orchards without
birdsl
Of empty nests that cling to boughs and
beams,
AS in an idiots brain remembered words
Hang EN- PITY mid the cobwebs of his dreams,
Will bl eat of flocks or believing herds
Make up for the lest music when your teams
Drag home the stingy harvest and no more
The feathered cleaners follow to your door2
What. would you rather see the incessaDt stir
OF insects in the windows of the hay,
And hear the locust and the grasshopper
Their melancholy hurdy-gurdies play2
Is this more pleasant to you than the whirr
OF meadow-lark. and her sweet roundelay,
Or tw litter of little field fares, as you take
Y our incoming in the shade of bush and brake?
You call them thieves and pillagers; but know
They are the winged wardens of your farms,
Who from the cornfields drive the insidious
foe
And from your harvest keep hundred
harms;
Even the blacklist of them all, the crow,
Renders good service as your man-at-arms,
Crushing the beetle in his coat of mail
And crying havoc on the slug and snail.
Think, every morning, when the sun peeps
through
The dim, leaf-latticed windows of the grove,
How jubilant the happy birds renew
Their old melodious madrigals of Lowell
And when you think of this, remember, too,
IT'S always morning somewhere, and above
The awakening continents, from shore to
shore,
Somewhere the birds are singing evermore.

A GALLANT THRUSH.

A young Highlander, having set a
horsehair moose in the woods, was de-
lighted one morning to find female
song-thrush entapgled therein. He car
ried his prize home, put it into roomy,
open-braided basket, secured the lid with
much string and many knots, and then
hung the extemporized cage upon a nail
near the open window. In the afternoon
the parish minister was called in by the
boys mother, who wished him to persuade
her son to set the captive free. While
the clergyman was examining the bird
through the basket, his attention was
called to another thrush, perched on a
branch opposite the window. "Yes!' ex-
claimed the boy, "and it followed me
home all the way from the woods" It
was the captive's mate, which, having
faithfully followed his partner to her
prison, had perched himself where he
might see her, and she hear the sad,
broken notes that chirped his grief. The
clergyman hung the basket against the
cave of the cottage, and then the two re-
tired to watch what might happen. In a
few minutes the captive whispered chirp
to her mates complaints. His joy was
unbounded. Springing to the topmost
spray of the tree he trilled out two or
three exultant notes, and then alighted
on the besket-lid, through the hole in
which the captive had thrust her head
and neck.
Then followed a touching scene. The
male bird, after billing and cooling with
the captive, dressing her feathers and
stroking her neck, all the while futtering
his wings and grooming an undersong of
encouragement, suddenly assumed anoth-
er attitude. Gathering up his wings he
erected himself and began to peck and
pull away at the edges OF the hole in the
baskets lid. The birds ardent affection,
and his effort to release his mate, touched
the clergyman, mother, and boy, "Tll
let the bird 60" said he, in sympathetic
voice, as he saw his mother wiping her
eyes with her apron. The basket was
carried to the spot where the bird had
been shared. The cock thrush followed,
sweeping occasionally close past the boy
carrying the basket, and chirping abrupt
notes, as if assuring his mate that he was
still near her. On arriving at the snare
the clergyman began untying the many in
tricate knots which secured the lid, while
the cock bird perched on a hazel Dough
not six feet away, watched, silently and
motionless, the process of liberation. AS
soon as the basket-lid was raised the fe-
male thrush dashed out with a scream OF
terror and joy, while the male followed
like an arrow shot from bow, and both
disappeared behind clump of birch
trees. 1t was an excellent lesson for the
boy, one which he never forgot.

WHY A BOY QUIT RUNNING
ROUND O. NIGHTS"

"What hideous green you are put
ting in that tidy" said Belle to her very
best FRIEND" as they sat talking over
their fancy work.
81 know it," answered Kate, good hui
moredly. "You see, 1 bought it one
night, and began to work on it by lamp.
light, and thought it looked pretty well.
But some colors are so changeable; it
looks frightful by daylight. I know only
one thing that can do with it'll give
it to Ben"
"Why-will he like it?"
"Oh, don't know; 1 guess so. It'll
help make him out for Christmas, and do
well enough for his room. We stuff
everything in there;" and Kate gave a
little short laugh, then flushed suddenly,
as she caught Bellies blue eyes bent won
deringly upon her.
"Why," said the girl, and her fingers
stopped in their busy motion, "Td just
as soon think of putting anything ugly
into the parlor as into brother Franks
room; he is SO choice of it,"
"Oh, well, boys are different" STAN
mered Kate in confusion. And Belle,
feeling that she was treading on forbid
den ground, adroitly turned the CONVEX
sation. Yes, she knew that Ben was
different from her brother; and oh, how
thankful she felt for that difference -
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-03-26

thankful that Frank was strong and
manly, kept above temptation-sorry for
the great contrast in her friend.
"You must all do something to try to
keep Ben at home these evenings" said
his father, one day. 81 don't like the
way he is spending the time
And Kate, as she heard the words,
wondered what she could do.
That afternoon there was great over
hauling of furniture upstairs, and by
supper time quite a transformation had
taken place in Ben's room. There were
pretty, bright chromos, and one or two
choice engravings on the wall, hitherto
bare; dainty white mats on the bureau,
fresh muslin curtains draped back from
the window, and everything as inviting
as thoughtful hands could make it.
"Now," said she, 81 wonder il he'll no
tice it,
slave you a headache, Benz" she
asked, as she passed his open door that
evening, and saw him sitting with his
head bowed upon his hands.
"Oh, no." he answered: "only think
ing of going down town, but it looks SO
pleasant and homelike up here, I guess
I'll stay"
And he did stay, it wasn't the last time
either. By-and-by he began to invite
some of "the fellows" to come and see
him at the house, and with great satisfac-
ton would ask them to ''step up" to his
room. Was it strange that from these
little gatherings more than one went
away, feeling that it was a grand, good
thing to have home, and be worthy
of it?
"Do you know" said Kate to her friend
one day, "your plan has worked like a
charm"

20. RIDDLE.

Twas in far-off Eastern climate
That was built in olden time,
And men were wicked, and men unwise.
Beneath the gloomy threat ming skies,
OF timbers strong my frame was made.
And broad and wide my ribs were laid,
For in my heart hope l bore
The seething angry waters DER,
A hope that out of darkness born,
OF worlds dismembered, nations torn,
A purer future might arise,
And passed the storm from out the skies
When stole the sunshine DER the east,
And the wild storm and tumult ceased,
My messenger, loosed with gentle hand,
Brought tidings of a risen land,
Yes this is all; but when the blue
Is spanned by bridge of blended hue,
Then men may read in that sweet band,
The story penned by prophet hand.
